Hey everyone!
This past weekend, after winning Divisionals at
Spirit Mountain last weekend, the Oles were off to Marquette Mountain in
Michigan. It was a great weekend for many people on the team. The drive to
Marquette was an experience in itself.
We experienced one of the few snowstorms of the season. At one point,
the vans spilt up because of the weather. However, thanks to technology and
great driving skills, we all arrived in Marquette safe.

Saturday:
The first race was on Saturday was Slalom. It was a strong
showing on the men’s side with St. Olaf taking 6 of the top 9 spots.
Congratulations to Nick Stang for winning the race. Haakon Schonheyder had a
solid finish taking second with Paal Proitz in third. Congratulations boys for
winning the race!
